Med Card for My Anxiety

[Durchii]

Normally, im really up on these things guys.. But i've never had a medical card in my life.. Ive had medicinal grade herb before and it has helped me more than any other hydroponics I've laid my hands on..

Im not trying to be selfish and take away from the people who really deserve medicinal marijuana, like cancer and AIDs patients.. But I mean, when I have some panic attaks, or I get into my usual bout of homicidal thinking, which i normally dont consider a problem until I bite my dog or something *dont ask*.. I mean, thoughts diminish after a bwl of sativa..

And you know, since im on probation, they cant bust on a smoker with a med card can they? Dammit, im confused.

Im ranting mindlessly. My original question was if I could get a medical card for anxiety..

Dude they had a thing on dateline once where a reporter goes into a Dr. office

and complains of back pain. 3 hours later he came out with a card and could purchase

MJ legally. He didn't have any back pain. As long as your a contributing member

of society i wouldn't feel bad about gettin one.

Go for it dude.. if it really helps then so be it, there plenty of MJ to go around to the AIDS/cancer people.

you can get medical marijuana for anixety but if youre on prohbation youre gonna have to convince the judge to let you use medical marijuana while on prohbation. You better have a real serious need for weed to convince a judge.

[emagdnim13]

seriously man, if you feel it will better your life then you are entitled to at least try to get a med card.

[Gag On Grass]

wow, i used to have anxiety and since tokin i think i've been better, but i should try gettin a med card, all though it's been a pretty long time since i was diagnosed, i even saw a couple councilors due to it

[yellow bic]

its pretty hard to get one in colorado from what i here, which is why i havent even bothered with one

but i would try it if you do let me know where you wnet to get one and how hard it was

Thats a bit of a bullshit statement. Compasion clubs are getting busted daily so there isent "plenty of MJ to go around" The Canadian Gov. grew upwords of 500 pounds that they said was "to strong for med users" so they destroyed it.
(dont mind the strong words)


Durchii:

I used to have bad "panic attacks" and did some fucked up shit. I once tried to kill myself when I was 16 by drinking CLR. long story short I had to goto the hospital and get my stomach pumped and my insides still havent recovered from it yet and that was 10 years ago.

If you go to the docter (like I did) and tell them they only thing that helps you when you freak out and do crazy shit is dope the first thing they will do is put you on an Anti-deppressent (which in my opinion makes panic attacks worst). If that doesent work and you keep telling them about crazy shit you do they will then proceed to ask you if you want to go to the phyc. hospital.

Now that is when the shit starts getting fucked. I was in the phyc. Ward for 3 months and it was the most fucked up time of my life. I met some people that were way more fucked then me but in the end I came out alot more educated about my problem and I am the man I am today!

So if you have read my whole post and you are still not convinced, take it from somone who has been there. Dope will not cure your mental issues. It is only a temperary SOLUTION to a PERMENENT problem.

So if you are really set on getting better you are the only person that can help you is yourself. This problem you have and I used to have is a problem that only you can fix no amount of pot or perscribed pills will help. Go check yourself into the Phyc. Ward and get help dude!!!!!! and more importantly get education on your disease

I hate hearing about this shit cause I have been there before dude and I know how it feels get better and keep me up to date on how you are doing. weather its in this thread or in a private message and if you have and questions feel free to pm me or post here!!!!!!

Get better dude!

Compassion clubs arent getting raided daily. A few get raided here and there every year but there defintally isnt a shortage of medical marijuana for patients. Only once have I seen a dispensary actually run out of marijuana and they actually still had two strains left but neither of them looked that good, they reupped within a hour or two.

Speaking of raids though, did you guys hear about the raids that happened in san diego this last week ?

Why do you think cannabis will make this problem better? It will probably make it worse; smoking and anxiety do no t go together, simply because your body mimics panic symptoms when smoking.

keep in mind that everyones body is different. I have add and when I was a kid they use to give my coffe to calm me down, for most people coffe makes you hyper but for a lot of people with ADD it has the opposite effect. Perfect example of how something that does one thing for most can do the exact opposite for others.

Only this guy truly knows if weed helps his anxiety, if he says it does then who are we to question him.

I'm prescribed medical marijuana for add, common sense would say marijuana wont help with add but for me it does. Another perfect example of how everyones body reacts differently to different drugs.

With that said though i agree this guy should be carefull, weed could make youre anxiety worse. So ask yourself does weed really make it better or are you just trying to find an excuse to be able to smoke legally ? Only you know the real answer.

I should get a med card I have OCD and manic deppression yall think that would get me one?

Strikes me there's a lot of that going on here; excuses to avoid stopping. At the end of the day your sanity is really not worth risking.

I hear what you're saying about ADD (Ritalin is also an upper), but anxiety is a very different condition, and you need a doctor to help you understand why you are anxious. That means tellling them about the weed usage, and any other drugs you may be using; you can't expect them to accurately diagnose a condition without the full picture. To do so would be potentially dangerous.

I totally agree with you. It doesent matter what it is weed will not fix it. Its like I said in my big post "Dope will not cure your mental issues. It is only a temperary SOLUTION to a PERMENENT problem." only you can overcome it, weed wont fix it. Weed doesent cure anything it just helps with whatever pain you have.....when the high wears off your not any better off then you were before you smoked!

Cali: Remember dude, not everyone lives in California! Not everyone has access to like you guys do. Were I'm from compasion clubs get busted all the time. Daily was a figure of speech. Also I appreciate your constructive criticism but on a subject like this I don’t really think you should be condoning, getting a med card for a problem were weed isn’t going to fix a fixable problem, as you sound like a med user yourself. Just because the clubs have a lot and aren’t going to run out doesn’t mean everyone should draw more heat to the whole issue because if that shit keeps up they will get shut down!

Although I respect you're opionon I have to strongly disagree that someone shouldn't get medical marijuana simply on the basis that it doesnt 'cure' their illness. A good majority medications don't cure the illness but that doesnt mean you shouldnt take medication. There are plenty of conventional medications used to treat anixety, they don't cure the problem completly but they help keep anxiety attacks down. Marijuana should be treated no different if it helps one with their anxiety attacks like this guy says marijuana does for him.

No doctor is going to tell a AIDS paitent not to take medication simply because no medication will cure their illness. Just because something doesnt cure an illness doesnt make it an invalid medicine by any means.

If marijuana does indeed help with someones anxiety than I don't see any reason why I shouldn't condone that person getting a medical marijuana card, that's the very reason medical marijuana laws are passed to begin with.


I do understand what youre saying about giving more heat to the medical marijuana scene but if marijuana really helps someone with anxiety than that's not something that will cause a black eye, that's the law working how it should work.
